I was also wondering about a relationship with the alchemical herbals.
A bit earlier, on fol. 209v (at the top) is a herb that looks a lot like 'Herba Victoria' (known from recent discussions about colour annotations in the Vicenza MS).
A bit further, on fol. 211v (centre) and again on 212r (top) are lunaria plants.
Time-wise, this is quite 'tight' since the earliest known alchemical herbals that have survived seem to be contemporary with this MS.
